In 1878 Massachusetts enacted the first probation statute, and Boston hired its first probation officer. In 1880 the Massachusetts legislature approved the first statewide hiring of probation officers. By 1925 all states had laws governing probation for juveniles, and by 1939 approximately 39 states were maintaining laws on probation for adults.

Landlords can&rsquo;t force a tenant to get contents insurance, but it&rsquo;s probably in their best interest to do so.

In this situation, the landlord can give a 30-day notice for a tenant who has only stayed in the property for less than one year. If the tenant has lived in the property for one year or longer, the landlord has to give a 60-day notice. In some cases where the tenant has done something to violate the law or the lease, the landlord can evict the tenant by giving a three-day notice.
